QUEENS of 



MOORE'S STRAIN OF ITALIANS 



Produce workers that fill the supers, and are not in- 

 clined to swarm. They have won a world-wide repu- 

 tation for honey-gathering, hardiness, gentleness, etc. 



Mr. W. Z. Hutchinson, editor of the Bee-keepers' Re- 

 view, Flint, Mich. .says : '"As workers, I have never seen 

 them equaled. They seem possessed of a steady, quiet 

 determination that enables them to lay up surplus 

 ahead of others. Easier bees to handle I have never 

 seen." 



My queens are all bred from my best long-tongued 

 three-banded red-clover stock (no other race bred in 

 my apiaries), and the cells are built in strong colonies 

 well supplied with young bees. 



PRICES: Untested queens, 75c each; six, $4; doz., 

 $7 50. Select, untested, $1.00 each; six, $5; doz., $9.00. 



Safe arrival and satisfaction guaranteed.
